July 27, 20214 yr First flight with the new SU 5. Something has affected aircraft performance (at least on my Carenado Mooney). At the start of my descent (VFR flight), I cut down throttle all the way to 1/4 and the aircraft settled on a vertical speed of -150 fpm after I trimmed the nose up a little bit. IAS was down to 120 knots. This doesn't sound right. Before the update, if I cut throttle to 1/4 I would have to trim the aircraft nose up quite a bit to maintain such a slow descent, and I would soon get into the white arc (flap range).
